basketball season really can't come soon enough. zo needing to heal aside, that is.

7/28/2012 11:30:18 PM

the first preseason NFL game kicks off next weekend

fuck basketball season, relatively speaking

7/28/2012 11:55:15 PM

Agreed, for now

7/29/2012 10:32:13 AM

Wait so who's on the spanish team? Pros? Pros who aren't in the Olympics?

7/29/2012 12:29:47 PM

Wait, have they ever even officially announced who we're playing/how many games? All I know is that it's in Madrid.

I gave my Spanish roommate the foam finger of the wolfpack sign, so hopefully he can make it to the game.

7/29/2012 1:00:09 PM

^^^^ there's not much about the nfl season that gets me excited.

man oh man State is getting some press... darlings of the ACC, hope they can live up to it

7/30/2012 3:02:08 PM

so ominous...

7/30/2012 4:02:05 PM

I was telling ncwolfpack I won't feel comfortable until these guys are back on the ground in the US. I'm so paranoid about someone getting hurt or like a plane crash or something. NC STATE SHIT.

7/30/2012 4:08:07 PM

Hopefully this year will be the year that people stop believing in "NC State Shit"

7/30/2012 4:16:26 PM

There will always be assholes and retards.

read somewhere the other day that UNC and Duke are afterthoughts this year

Quote :

"2. NC State coach Mark Gottfried said the preseason buzz on campus -- even in July -- is unreal. The Wolfpack will likely be picked to win the ACC, or at the very least finish second to North Carolina after the Wolfpack reached the Sweet 16 last March. The Wolfpack fan base has been desperate to be treated as equals in the triangle. This is the first time in decades that NC State has more offseason hype than UNC or Duke. It would be a mistake to dismiss UNC with the return of healthy Dexter Strickland and Leslie McDonald as well as the addition of a major recruiting class again. NC State returns its core and an elite recruiting class. The headline name is shooting guard Rodney Purvis, but don't sleep on small forward T.J. Warren and point guard Tyler Lewis. Gottfried said both players are off to great starts. The Wolfpack are practicing on a few scattered days for an upcoming trip to Spain."

^ that's it!

7/30/2012 4:56:56 PM

You're right. The UNC/Duke game probably won't even be in primetime this year! Let the good times roll!

7/30/2012 5:01:25 PM

thats a ballsy prediction hey now, I just dont see it

No one has written anything like that.

7/30/2012 5:06:22 PM

yeah, I wrote it down and then I read it

7/30/2012 5:08:00 PM

So apparently the "alums" played our current team. Alums being Hodge, etc. Anyone got a vid?

7/31/2012 7:42:43 PM

Chris Corchiani was tweeting from the game if you want to look up his tweets...

7/31/2012 8:02:08 PM

I attended the alumni game, was a lot of fun and we looked pretty good considering Zobo was sidelined.

A few concerns, particularly Hot Rodney (P.) getting destroyed repeatedly by Mike O Donnell's penetration.

Vandenburg vs Lewandowski was a pretty even matchup in the post.

And Justin Gainey won the 3 pt shootout featuring Leslie, Wood, Horner, and Bennerman.

7/31/2012 8:12:09 PM

i hear lewis was pretty sick?

7/31/2012 8:13:21 PM

I, too, am worried a bit about ZoBro's injury

But I think ScoWo can pick up the slack

7/31/2012 8:46:21 PM

Hey Face, how about stating what looked good instead of the nit pickey shitty details? And we all know that frosh take a while to develop defensively.

No word on TJ warren? Lewis?

many a player has been destroyed repeatedly by Mike O Donnell's penetration

7/31/2012 9:05:03 PM

TJ Warren was matched up against Luke Buffum in the first half so it was really hard to draw any conclusions. Obviously Buffum kinda owned him in the post, but Warren was able to pull Buffum out of the paint on offense and gave our offense good spacing.

7/31/2012 10:13:52 PM

no you fucking dumb ass, face is an idiot and so are you for believing anything he posts

7/31/2012 10:17:19 PM

Lol at face on this page. did hyatt win the slam dunk contest?

7/31/2012 10:18:21 PM

Agh I forgot about face

I mean it's plausible he'd be hanging around with nothing better to do, idk

There is no spoon.

7/31/2012 11:09:42 PM

I liked "ZoBro" and "ScoWo"

surely something can be done with Howell's name - RiHo is sorta meh

8/1/2012 9:38:32 AM

Man with a lineup of LoBo, ScoWo, CaLe, RiHo, and RoPu we will be unstoppable. Plus we can bring TyLe, TJWa, and JoVa off the bench.

8/1/2012 10:01:28 AM

How did LoCha and BriKee do? (since this page is already full of stupid)

How bout we don't give them any more lame ass nicknames?

8/1/2012 10:58:41 AM

I like the L, S, C, R, and R lineup with T, T, and J coming off the bench. Hopefully M, O, and B can get these guys playing excellent quickly so there aren't any WTF games in the beginning.

didn't know where else to put this, and it doesn't deserve its own thread..

apparently Karl Hess was officiating minor league baseball in Florida under alias 'Mario Seneca':
